Re: Un-restricting access to Add/Remote Programs



We need more details such as is this XP Home or XP Pro and if it is XP Pro
is the computer a member of an Active Directory domain? Also can you be more
specific about what you mean by administration policy as in do you mean
Local Security Policy, Group Policy, Software Restriction Policy, etc. Also
make sure the user that is installing/uninstalling the software is logged on
as a local administrator. If you believe it is Group Policy you can run the
command rsop.msc in the run box on the computer to see Group Policy settings
applied if you expand the folders shown in the report list.

Over a year ago I used Windows XP Administration Policy to prevent my
users
adding programs to a home-used laptop - because it had been used to
install
un-authorised software.

I now need to undo what I did (laptop back at base) and cannot see the
option I enabled/disabled in the Administration Policy - I've looked
through
the list twice and still can't see it - I know I didn't do anything
complicated - just enabled/disabled and option and that's it !

Please can you help me find the option as I need to remove the anti-virus
software and replace it with our new software - and I can't !!

I will be very grateful for your help.

Regards,
Julia
